June 26-July 1: 'Shrek' the Musical

Opening event

MANKATO – Up next for Highland Summer Theatre at Minnesota State University, Mankato, “Shrek” the musical is the final show in the Ted Paul Theatre before a major renovation.

The Ted Paul is getting new, larger seats; a new grand drape; new carpeting; additional wheelchair seating; safety upgrades; and fresh paint. But before the work begins, the theater is being transformed into the Kingdom of Far Far Away, where the story of “Shrek” unfolds.

About the show: "Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek ..." And thus begins the musical tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and feisty Princess Fiona who resists her own rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero: Shrek!

Tickets are $22 regular; $19 for seniors ages 65 and older, children under 16 and groups of 15 or more; and $15 for Minnesota State Mankato students. Call the Box Office at 507-389-6661, or visit MSUTheatre.com for more information about tickets.
